"Other common signs of entitlement in children include:
- not taking turns
- impatience
- a tendency to put themselves first
- insensitivity to or a lack of compassion toward others
-temper tantrums when they don't get what they want
- not saying "please" or "thank you"
While it's not uncommon for kids to view themselves as the axis of the universe, it's a parent's job to help kids see beyond themselves, and some of us aren't doing it very well."

Hopefully the tree is on a hill and gravity made those three apples roll out from under the tree's shadow.
They're getting entirely too much attention. And I know what some of you are
thinking: "Jesus, he's not going to attack children, is he?" Yes he is! He's
going to attack children. And remember, this is Mr. Conductor talking; I know
what I'm talking about.
For one thing, there's too much emphasis on safety and
safety equipment: childproof medicine bottles, fireproof pajamas, child
restraints, car seats. And helmets! Bicycle, baseball, skateboard, scooter
helmets. Kids have to wear helmets now for everything but jerking off. Grown-ups
have taken all the fun out of being a kid. What's happened is, these baby
boomers, these soft, fruity baby boomers, have raised an entire generation
of soft, fruity kids who aren't even allowed hazardous toys, for Chrissakes!
What ever happened to natural selection? Survival of the fittest? The kid who
swallows too many marbles doesn't grow up to have kids of his own. Simple
stuff. Nature knows best!" -- George Carlin
